Addendum 8/29/2016:
I've got quite a few amps and I tend to cycle through them - each for awhile and with various guitars. What strikes me most about this amp is what you are getting for the money. The presets are wonderful. I tend to prefer clean, but can certainly appreciate warmth, grit and smooth overdriven breakup. The Fender, VOX and Marshall emulations in the above realm are very nice! Some they model I can't verify if they indeed sound like the original - but they simply sound great to me. What I have found - and is true of many SS amps is that you need a strong input signal. So using a clean boost as needed goes a long ways to avoid a lot of the artifacts that you can get otherwise. With a weak input - yes - I sometimes get the snare drum envelope and crappy fade out on sustained notes. Heat up your guitar input and use the volume attenuator - then adjust the input down and volume up till you hear it. Tube amps seem to be more tweakable and tolerant on the guitar input. But this new hybrid matches up well once you get a zone it likes. Then the other perks really leave behind what you will get on the typical tube amp. Again this amp really does sound good with well chosen presets to showcase a fairly good range of different amps. It has it's own effects and uses many of them on it's preset - so likely good quality. I tend to use my modest pedals which work well in front of this amp. I like the presets and find exploring them rich enough that I've not tried to fool with this amp manually. It does seem to have a reach feature set to adjust in sound - again likely good as they have quite a good rand of presets sounds. Done nothing on the software side of this amp - so can't attest to it. It's load and proud perfect for an apartment or small setting. Short of giggable on a scale past that. It is holding up well. I'm not gigging and moving this around. It is light and doesn't look like it will take abuse. All in all though -- *very* well liked and holds its place in my stable of amps...
There are some things missing like the pitch shifter, the brown octave, and rotary but I never really used those things much anyway. The available pedals include distortions, tremilos, comps, drives, phasers, flanger, VOX lead, and a dozen others. One REALLY cool thing VOX did was include compression in some of the metal tones (Cal Metal) and in so doing freed up another pedal for you to use instead of a compressor :) Nice. Not all the heavy tones are compressed though which is nice for sustained notes or when you roll off the volume. UK ROCK with the Gold Distortion Box is KING ~ very Jorn sounding. The cleans are WAY better than anything I ever got on my VT120; bright, shimmery, and with the RC Boost pedal I can control a nice amount of over drive with my volume knob. This amp is by far the most "tubey" modeling amp I've played. So much fun to roll on the guitar volume knob and have the tone move from clean to crunchy with just a slight increase in volume. And church mouse quiet.
Another awesome thing about the deep editing software is that you can collect or create up to 33 custom tones (3 files of 11 tones each) and then as you want to, click and drag them to and from the on board bank of 8 that you'll need for your song, gig, or whatever. Saving tones was a bit cumbersome on other VOX amps. Also, like I mentioned before I tried the Spider IV and even put up $900 for an MKII but found too few useable tones. The other thing that drove me nuts with the MKII was that after spending a lot of time setting up tones in the editor, when I unplugged it the tones would be different!! Grrrr :( This is not the case with the VOX. What you set up in the Tone Room is what you get.
The amp is beautiful and nicely made. In my other amps I have swapped out tubes for tone improvement or lined the cabinets with fiberglass to tighten up metal or dampen the brights but I have no such need with this amp. It's just great. Like the other reviewer I did my homework but based on passed experience with VOX and gleaming reviews from the likes of Rob "the monkey lord" Chappers, I ordered it straight away and received it by mail through Amazon. I was tempted to shell out another $100 for the 100 Watt model but I'm glad I didn't. This 40 watt lets me turn the power up enough to properly drive the tube without knocking stuff off the walls. I'm not sure it would compete with a loud drummer though. It'll definitely handle a small live venue; coffee shop, fellowship hall, wedding but if you plan on playing a club you'll want the bigger brother.

Da un sonido nítido de Fender, Marshall, Mesa y Vox basicamente, incluyendo sus distorsiones y reverberación. Los canales límpios son brillantes, con un reveb como el HOF2 la armonía es impresionante.
Destacando que incluye efectos como chorus, delay, reverb, trémolo, phaser, compresor, reductor de ruido, etc.
Es REALMENTE FÁCIL DE USAR, bastante intuitivo, a pesar de todas las cosas que tiene, una vez que personalizas el sonido que quieres, lo guardas en uno de sus múltiples bancos de datos. Si no quieres personalizar, pues tienes como 30 setups distintos y acondicionados para distintas canciones de Eric Johnson, BB King, Red hotCP, Pantera, Maiden, hasta Vai y Satch, aunque para estos dos últimos debes conectar el amplificador a la PC o smartphone vía USB, las opciones son ENORMES.
¿RECOMENDADO PARA METAL? Sí, y de diferentes tipos, desde heavy hasta black metal, pasando por death, trash , progre, industrial. Entre el DSP y el bulbo que tiene hacen mucha diferencia con otros amps. Un buen setup de este equipo para metal por ejemplo es poner el modo Doble rectificador, subir toda la gananci y volumen, acomodar ecualizador al gusto y controlar el volumen con el master, agregar en el efecto 1de3 el overdrive como boost y manipular sus dos perillas hasta conseguir el chug que buscas. Puedes variar entre el dual rect y el brit otros, las posibilidades son enormes.
Tiene muy buena potencia, sobrado para la casa (compré el VT40X)
Funciona perfecto y espero que siga así, de lo contrario les informaré actualizando este comentario. RECOMENDABLE.
Cependant je l’ai renvoyé pour échanger avec un mustang LT40 qui m’on correspond mieux niveaux son ( goût personnel)
Si vous êtes fan de vox et aimez le son de leurs ampli je vous le recommande.

But it is a dream come true for advanced players who know how to adjust the guitar tone/pick up/volume knobs along with amp settings to find the “sweet spots”. It is excellent for room or home-studio use.
Warning: experiencing it might prove to be a gateway to the amazing world of premium amplifiers (and the costs it entails!)
